Tiivistelmä
Originality/value - This study is the first large-scale attempt to focus on the logistics performance of SMEs and analyse the linkages between financial and logistics performance among the companies using both self-reported data and financial reports-based data. In addition, a theoretical framework of the linkages between logistics performance and financial performance is suggested and revised based on the findings of the study. The revised framework requires testing as a part of future research.
